the older, more senior hosties get the intl routes rigged to them by their roster-writing friends. there's more money in those routes, so they lock them down in a rather large, granny cartel.

paper doesn't hurt your eyes, glass does.....
if i read all my magazines from the screen, i would be blind.
when i'm done with them, i pack n rack them for re-reading all the time.
try doing that with e-version?

The iPad is nice but for real work away from home the touch kbd stinks. The iOS needs work as it is inconsistent in cut /paste also.

And yes, a paper mag is still more enjoyable, and this comes from someone who has had an email account since the late 70s.

all my home offices/waiting rooms have car related materials available for occupants ... seems more appropriate than the stack of unwanted "Victorias Secret" catalogues my postman keeps delivering!
